Integrating disqus in a mobile app

[yiannistri]

Hi,

I'm following your guide to display disqus comments on my Android app. It works fine for the most part as comments are being displayed nicely. However, I can't get the login flow to work whether it's via email or through any of the social media. The result is that my users can see the comments but cannot login or add any new comments.Anyone following this guide can easily reproduce this behaviour. I'm suspecting that the popup window that you now display on clicking Login doesn't play well with embedded webview.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Same issue here... Any feedback please?

Hi @yiannistri and @jasonatt. Thank you for reporting this issues. There is indeed a problem with the login flow, which we became aware of recently. We have a fix that we're working on addressing in that documentation soon, likely this week. Apologies for the outdated documentation.

[jasonatt]

Hi, that was fast :)

Will you notify us via this thread or shall I subscribe somewhere?

Cheers

[dmatt]

Yes :). I'll be sure to mark this issue as closed once we fix the
documentation. Subscribing to this issue should be good.

Hello @dmatt! I've to get Disqus integrated in my android application and for that I'm waiting for the new documentation. Any updates?

[dmatt]

We'll have some updated instructions for android very soon (most likely
this week), sorry for the wait. I'll be sure to update this Issue once we
have more to share.

Having the same issue, not able to comment after navigating back to the comment thread url when a successful login is detected.

@dmatt any updates?

[dmatt]

Yes, the mobile instructions are still a work in progress. Our developers
have an updated Windows UWP example here
https://github.com/ryanvalentin/disqus-install-examples/tree/master/windows-uwp.
We will be adding iOS and android soon but no ETA yet.

I found that the issue doesn't exist in android 4.4.2, but android 5 and above still have the issue.

@dmatt Hello, Is there going to be Javascript documentation for this? I've had a look through the windows documentation and each time I'm trying to sign in I'm not seeing any of these url endings "#!auth%3Acancel", "#!auth%3Asuccess", #!auth%3Afail" to be able to redirect anywhere, it's just sticking on the auth start one, but if I restart the app I will be signed in. I'd love to get this working asap as I've spent a good few days on it now.

[jasonatt]

Hi, I can confirm taml issue. I have a cordova build of the app and on ios I can see the ending urls and all work fine but on android does not detect them so cannot redirect.

[taml]

Hey @jasonatt have you managed to get the redirects working on iOS? I'm building a Ionic / Cordova App too! It would be good to compare code to see how you've implemented Disqus as I'm getting Disqus to show the right comments for the right posts 98% of the time ( for some reason it's not bringing the right ones in on two posts) but haven't managed to get anywhere at all with the redirects!

[jasonatt]

Hi @taml,

I am using the in app browser and listen to when the page finishes loading to detect the url and redirect based on that. Perhaps @dmatt can assist as I think the paths are different on android...

 $scope.disqusUrl = "Your Url of the starting page"

$scope.disqusUrlCall = function(url) {
 var ref = cordova.InAppBrowser.open(encodeURI($scope.disqusPushUrl), '_blank', 'location=no', clearsessioncache="yes", clearcache="yes");
 ref.addEventListener('loadstop', checkUrl);
};

function checkUrl(params) {
 //console.log(params.url);
 if (params.url.indexOf("disqus.com/next/login-success") > -1 || params.url.indexOf("disqus.com/_ax/facebook/complete") > -1 || params.url.indexOf("disqus.com/_ax/google/complete") > -1 || params.url.indexOf("disqus.com/_ax/twitter/complete") > -1) {
 //alert("Redirect from Disqus");
 cordova.InAppBrowser.open(encodeURI($scope.disqusUrl), '_blank', 'location=no');
} 
}
